Hamilton Speaks For Republicans Hailing the Republican party AS the only organized champion of Jeffersonian political doctrines, John D.
M. Hamilton; G. O. P. national chairman, launched a drive for Republican votes in a fiery address before the Alabama Republican convention in Birmingham Wednesday.
It was the first time in history a national chief of Republican party has personally sought votes in this Deep South state. Before an assembly of some, 800 at the Temple Theater, the 47- year -old former Northwestern football player and lawyer-legislator of Kansas declared "the Republicans of today better exemplify the principles and philosophy of Jefferson than do those who call themselves New Dealers." He asserted "it was on principles laid down by Thomas Jefferson that our party was founded," added that "whenever the Republican party has departed from Jeffersonian princihas not been true to itself. Today it stands as the only organized champion of the Jeffersonian philosophy." Hamilton made strong bid for the support of anti-New Dealers and what he termed "the real Democrats of the South." "There is today no insurmountable barrier between the real Democrats of the South and the Republican party," the G. O. P.
chieftain said. However, in another part of his speech, he declared that "between the Republican and the New Deal parties there is today a fundamental issue. No longer can it be said that there is no difference between the two major parties. Joe Louis Sets New Knockout Record With Schmeling Yankee Stadium, New York, June 22 The Brown Bomber came back Wednesday night--all the way back with an explosion that electrified the fight world and smashed Germany's Max Schmeling into a helpless, sprawling figure of defeat in less than one round. Dusky Joe Louis waited two years to avenge the one and only defeat of his professional career, but then took little more than two minutes to achieve it under the Yankee Stadium's footlights with a devastating blast that produced the quickest ending in pugilistic history to a world heavyweight championship match, The 24-year-old Alabama negro, knocked out in the same ring in 12 rounds by Schmeling in 1936, turned loose an attack of such suddenness and ferocity that the German never had a chance.
Beaten to the first punch by the Bomber's snake-like left, Schmeling was knocked down three times and so badly battered that his handlers threw in the towel in token of defeat as the timekeeper tolled the count of "eight" on the last knockdown. The finish came after two minutes, four seconds of the first round as a howling crowd of 80,000 onlookers, thrilled by the negro's spectacular rush to triumph, witnessed the most sensational heavyweight title finish since Jack Dempsey flattened Louis Angel Firpo at the Polo Grounds in September, 1923. Dempsey's memorable conquest came after 57 seconds of the second round, a total of only three mincutes, 57 seconds of whirlwind action. Schmeling, a picture of confidence beforehand and favored by many to become the first ex-champion in history to regain the heavyweight crown, never had a chance after the bell rang for the first round. Louis, justifying his own prediction of a short finish, achieved it one round sooner than he expected, with a two-fisted onslaught that left the huge crowd as excited as Schmeling was dizzy after it was all over.
DEATH OF SMALL BOY Johnnie McQueen, small son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McQueen, died Thursday night, June 16, 1938, at Hodges Hospital.
